5 Days Tour to Explore Santa Cruz ,Isabela and Santa Fe Galapagos

This was a great experience in The Galapagos. All details were handled by Real Dreams tour company. Starting at the airport in Baltra, our guide Enrique met us inside the airport, led us to the line for the bus. He told us where to put our luggage and where to wait. The bus took us to a ferry. At the end of the ferry ride a driver was waiting to take us to the Tortoise Ranch. There we had lunch and Enrique gaves a tour of the grounds. Afterwards, our driver took us to our hotel in Santa Cruz. Enrique made sure we were checked in before leaving.... That is all the details for just one day. Each day involved more details. Everyday someone met us at our hotel to take us on an adventure. When we travelled to Isabella Island, our guide, Glenda, was waving at us from the docks. My grandson asked if I knew everyone in the Galapagos! All of our guides were local residents who shared their knowledge and insights. The only additional costs for us were the dollar per person water taxi rides and tips. We did some shopping, stopped for ice cream and had about 4 additional meals. No matter what, you will see the animals and experience the richness The Galapagos Islands have to offer. It's best with friends who take care of the details!

Honestly, this was an experience that made me really happy. The water in the Galápagos Islands is so clear it almost feels unreal, and snorkeling there was simply incredible. Everything feels so pure and natural… you truly connect with the place. I love penguins, and I really wanted to see them but I also knew it’s not always easy. And just when I wasn’t expecting it anymore, they appeared. Seeing them there, so calm in their natural habitat on Isabela Island, was a moment that truly moved me. I just stood there watching them without saying anything, simply enjoying it… it’s one of those moments you can’t really explain, you just feel it. Everything was completely worth it. Overall, the trip was very well organized, the places were spectacular, and everything felt very authentic. Thank you to the tour guides who were always attentive and showed us these beautiful places. I’m leaving with such beautiful memories, especially that moment with the penguins… and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something truly unique in the Galápagos Islands.

I did this 5 day Galapagos tour (Santa Cruz, Isabela, and Santa Fe) and WOW… I’m still smiling just thinking about it. Truly a 5 star experience from beginning to end From the moment we arrived, everything felt so easy and well taken care of. It was one of those trips where you don’t have to stress about anything you just show up and enjoy every second. That made such a big difference for me. Santa Cruz was incredible, especially seeing the giant tortoises in the wild. It felt surreal being that close to them. Then Santa Fe completely blew me away the water was insanely clear, and snorkeling with sea lions was just magical. They’re so playful, it honestly felt like a dream. And Isabela… I think that was my favorite. The island has such a calm, beautiful energy. Every place we visited felt special, and I loved that nothing felt rushed. I could really take it all in and enjoy the moment. A huge thank you to our guides, William and Glenda they were amazing! So warm, fun, and always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that energy makes the whole experience even better. Everything just flowed perfectly, and I felt so grateful to be there, experiencing all of this. It’s one of those trips that stays with you. I’d recommend this tour in a heartbeat to anyone wanting an unforgettable, fun, and stress free Galapagos adventure

I traveled to the Galapagos with a group of friends, and this 5 day tour through Santa Cruz, Isabela, and Santa Fe turned Outlook de ahí y to be so much more than just a trip… it’s something we’re still laughing about and talking about even now. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and smooth. But what I really loved is that it didn’t feel like a structured tour. It felt more like traveling with friends, where someone else had already taken care of all the details. We just showed up, enjoyed, and lived in the moment. In Santa Cruz, seeing giant tortoises in the wild was incredible, but honestly, the funniest part was one of my friends trying to get the perfect close-up photo… and the tortoise just completely ignored him lol. We ended up laughing way more than actually taking pictures. Santa Fe was on another level. The water was so clear it didn’t feel real, and snorkeling with sea lions was unforgettable. At one point, one of them started swimming around us like it wanted to play… until one of my friends panicked thinking it was chasing him, when it was really just being curious. We couldn’t stop laughing afterward. Isabela was probably my favorite. The volcanic landscapes are stunning, but what made it special was something simple ,we ended the day sitting together watching the sunset, not saying much, just taking it all in. Those quiet moments are the ones that stay with you. And I have to mention the team. The Tour guides,Enrique, Glenda, and Pedro were amazing: super friendly, patient (especially with our group lol), and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can really feel that energy throughout the experience. If I had to sum it up: it was a stress free trip full of real moments, incredible nature, and a lot of laughs with friends. It wasn’t perfect in a picture perfect way it was better, because it felt real. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the Galapagos in a way that’s well organized but still feels personal and adventurous. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

A big thank you to Carolina for arranging my trip to the Galapagos with only a few days notice. Everything was taken care of very efficiently including the return flights or and from the mainland. I received daily emails setting out the schedule for the following day. Thanks also to my exclusive personal guides on each island, Freddy and Christian. Overall a brilliant experience.

My two daughters and I just returned from the Explore Santa Cruz, Isabela and Santa Fe 5 Day Galapagos Tour, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, this trip exceeded all our expectations and we are already dreaming about returning! We were met at Baltra Airport and immediately felt welcomed and cared for. On Santa Cruz Island, our guides William and Fredy were incredible. Their knowledge of the wildlife, conservation efforts, and local ecosystems brought every stop to life. From walking among giant tortoises to observing playful sea lions on the shore, every moment was full of wonder. They balanced informative talks with fun stories that kept my daughters engaged the entire time. The tour to Santa Fe Island was a true highlight. We saw land iguanas basking under the sun and snorkeled in crystal clear waters alongside sea lions and colorful fish a magical experience that we’ll never forget. Tour guides always made us feel safe and provided helpful tips for the best viewing spots. On Isabela Island, our guides, especially Glenda, were equally amazing. Glenda is enthusiasm was contagious, and she made the island’s natural beauty even more memorable. We loved exploring the flamingo lagoon and walking the charming streets of Puerto Villamil. Glend’s guidance during our snorkeling and island walks helped us spot marine iguanas, beautiful birds, and so much more.Every day was filled with breathtaking scenery, delicious local meals, and meaningful learning about the unique environment of the Galapagos. The accommodations were comfortable, the logistics smooth, and the guides went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful family trip.If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate! It’s perfect for families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants a rich, immersive Galapagos experience. We give it 5 stars without hesitation and highly recommend it to everyone!

I traveled in December, and it was my first time visiting the Galapagos Islands. I am a young, active traveler and a nature lover, and this tour exceeded all my expectations. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organized. In Santa Cruz, our guide William was excellent very professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and natural environment. On Isabela Island, our guide Ruth was amazing, always attentive, enthusiastic, and passionate, which made every activity even more special. The food was delicious, well prepared, and varied throughout the tour. During the trip, I was able to see an incredible amount of wildlife: sea lions,giant tortoises and sea turtles,blue footed boobies and frigatebirds,sharks,penguins in Isabela .One of the most memorable moments was swimming with sea turtles and sea lions, a truly magical and unforgettable experience. I would especially like to thank Carolina, who from the very first contact was always extremely attentive and organized everything flawlessly. Her support before and during the trip was key to making the experience smooth and perfectly coordinated. She was always quick to respond, clear, and very kind, which gave me complete confidence from the start. I highly recommend this tour and the company Real Dreams Tour. It was a spectacular, well-organized trip full of once in a-lifetime experiences. I would definitely travel with them again and recommend them 100%!

We just returned from a 5 day tour through Santa Cruz, Isabela, and Santa Fe, and it truly became an unforgettable experience for our family. I traveled with my wife and our two children, and from the beginning we wanted something safe, well organized, and enjoyable for all of us. Katty was incredibly helpful from the first message ,She guided us through the different options, explained every detail clearly, and helped us choose the perfect tour for what we wanted to experience in the Galápagos. Her support before the trip gave us a lot of confidence.Throughout the tour, the entire team was exceptional. The local guides on each island were extremely knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and made every activity hikes, snorkeling sessions, beach visits, and wildlife encounters meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks to them, we learned so much about the wildlife, history, and conservation of these unique islands.We also want to highlight Pedro, our tour leader. He was always attentive, coordinating schedules, explaining everything with patience, checking that we were comfortable, and making sure each activity went smoothly. His dedication and kindness made a huge difference during our entire trip.The itinerary was perfectly balanced, full of adventures without feeling rushed. Our kids were thrilled to snorkel alongside sea turtles and playful sea lions, and we were equally amazed by the landscapes, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible wildlife everywhere we went. The hotel recommended by the team was also very comfortable and ideal for resting after such full and exciting days.Everything the food, logistics, transportation, organization, and the warmth of the staff was excellent. If you’re looking for an authentic, safe, and wonderfully guided way to explore the Galapagos Islands with your family, this tour is an outstanding choice. We highly recommend it.

Pedro was a fantastic tour guide. I'd highly recommend booking this tour, it's a combo of shared tours with a guide and a private tour. What's even better is he acts as your have your own personal photographer and if you have dietary requirements this is perfect, since we don't know the language Pedro handled everything. He was professional, communicative and always on time. We saw so much stunning wildlife and the tour it's self was a kinda flexible like if we didn't wanna do anymore snorkeling we opted to go cycling instead. It's a little complicated navigating getting around especially if you don't know the language, so this tour gave piece of mind.
